Rule about “pedophile”?

[jacksonlamb]

I didn't know about that one.

I have to worder if the Librarians actually read the books, or just see the covers and immediately celebrate the wokeness.

No. The book does not instruct minors to use Grindr or any other adult‑only app.

Here’s what it does do:

• It includes a brief discussion of dating apps as part of a chapter about how some adults meet partners.
• It explicitly states that these apps are for adults, not minors.
• The purpose is to warn young readers about online safety, boundaries, and risks, not to encourage use.

This is similar to how many sex‑education resources warn teens about unsafe websites or adult spaces—they explain them so teens understand why they should avoid them.

​

Some critics have:

• Taken short excerpts out of context
• Interpreted any mention of adult dating apps as “instruction”
• Ignored the book’s repeated emphasis on safety, consent, and age restrictions

Trump is a pervert, an adulterer, a sexual batterer, a felon many times, and on and on.

Whatever you say, liar.

Does the book “teach little boys how to use Grindr”?

Oh, this is interesting. Can you please post links to back up your assertion. Take your time.

 

[Lockback]

I've said before. If Trump was caught on a video mo!esting an 8 yr old, you craven MAGA lapdogs would blame the kid.

You know it & so does everyone else who isn't in yoir subservient Trump MAGA cult.

Of course you think that because you're monumentally stupid.
Unlike you morals-free Democrats, we'd be the first to blast him. But we demand facts, not smears from little commies.

No, you have had many opportunities and you all either deny or defend Trump's perversions.

I know you've got nothing but smears, inuendo and opinions.

Because they're based on ... nothing.
Smears.
Innuendo.
Lies.
Nothing.

You're a liar and a fraud.
You wouldn't know the truth if it flew up your ass.
Take a hike, punk.
Get back to me when you've got some goddam proof.

Of course not.

Have you actually read the book?

I'm guessing - just guessing, I fully admit - that it's "warnings" are along the same lines as a book published by Phillip Morris and RJ Reynalds about the dangers of early teen smoking.

It would warn kids not to ask older peers/siblings to buy them cigarettes or give them one so they can try it out (It's a Gateway!), not to ask friends if they know any convenience stores noted for willingness to sell cigarettes without checking ID's, not to take only one or two from their parents or grandparent's packs to avoid detection, and not to buy breath mints along with the cigarettes to cover up the odor of smoke.

The PSA's that the tobacco companies were once required to run turned out to be . . .

Sure. Inadvertent.

If the book specifically named Grindr as a dating app they should avoid, so as not to inadvertently find an adult for sex, I would say that is absolutely along the same line.

Do they name Grindr? If you don't know, say so. I work in a High School, so it may well be on our shelf.

I have to say this: Books in school libraries go largely untouched. Far more interesting to text friends "sup?" 157 times a day. So putting books like this on shelves and then congratulating themselves for being so woke is just Democrats and "not Democrats" jerking each other off (metaphorically speaking in this case).

You short quoted me to give the impression that I believe such.

You are as patently dishonest as Jackson.

You prove my point.

The only point you have is on top of your dusty skull.
